Carcept Terms of Service

Effective 2026-06-17 · Last updated: 2026-10-21

1. Agreeing to these terms

Downloading or using Carcept (the "App") means you accept these Terms of Service. If you do not accept them, do not use the App. Carcept is published by an independent iOS developer (Apple Developer Team ID ZM8LF8494F); "we," "us," and "our" refer to that developer.

2. What Carcept is

Carcept is a personal recordkeeping tool for a consumer whose vehicle has been repossessed. You enter your own account of each repossession event, mark what you observed on a breach-of-peace checklist, list the personal property that was in the vehicle and track whether it has been returned, read a plain-language reference to UCC 9-609 and state repossession rules, and — on Pro — generate an evidence timeline PDF and a personal-property recovery demand letter for your own use.

What Carcept is not. Carcept is not a law firm and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the CFPB, the FTC, or any government agency; any lender, repossession company, or collection agency; or any attorney. It does not give legal advice. It does not decide, and cannot tell you, whether a particular repossession was lawful or unlawful. It does not predict outcomes, does not promise that you will recover property or money, and does not recommend attorneys. The breach-of-peace checklist records what you observed and shows you the public statute text for your own reading; the conclusion is never the app's to draw. For any binding determination, consult a licensed consumer attorney.

3. The Pro tier

3.1 Free

The App is free to download and use. The free tier lets you record up to 10 items (repossession events plus follow-up communications), each carrying the full breach-of-peace checklist, the personal-property inventory, and the complete UCC 9-609 / 50-state reference, along with a read-only timeline. App Lock is free for everyone.

3.2 Pro products

Pro unlocks when you start the subscription or complete the Lifetime purchase. Two products are offered:

Both unlock the same Pro feature set. Prices are in USD; Apple shows the local equivalent at purchase. There is no monthly product.

3.3 Billing and auto-renewal (Annual)

The Annual subscription renews automatically until you cancel. Renewal is charged within 24 hours before the current period ends unless auto-renewal is switched off at least 24 hours before that point. Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Manage or cancel under Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions on your device. Refund requests for App Store purchases are handled by Apple under its policies and applicable law; non-waivable consumer rights remain available. The Lifetime purchase is a single charge with no recurring billing.

3.4 Trial eligibility and cancellation (Annual)

An introductory free trial is available only when Apple confirms eligibility for the subscription group and an applicable offer exists. The updated paywall checks eligibility before presenting trial benefits; unknown or ineligible accounts use ordinary subscription language. Apple’s purchase sheet confirms the actual duration, localized price and billing period before payment. Unless canceled at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription converts to the displayed paid plan. Trial access may end when canceled and follows Apple’s verified expiry or revocation. Older installed app versions may display earlier offer wording until updated. Buying Lifetime does not cancel a separate subscription or trial; manage that subscription through Apple.

4. What the Pro features do

The descriptions below bind us — if a future update materially changes one, we will revise this section.

4.1 App Lock (Free)

App Lock is a free feature using Apple's LocalAuthentication (Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode) to gate access to the App. Biometric data never leaves Apple's Secure Enclave; the App receives only a pass/fail result. Toggle it in Settings > Privacy at any time.

5. Your part

6. Disclaimers and liability

The App is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from or relating to the App is limited to the amount you paid us, through Apple, in the twelve months before the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including lost data, a missed deadline, an unrecovered vehicle or property, or any legal or financial outcome. The reference content and generated documents are tools for your own use; we do not guarantee that any attorney, agency, or court will accept or be bound by them.

7. Apple's EULA

Your use of the App is also governed by Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula. If these Terms and the Apple EULA conflict, these Terms govern between you and us; the Apple EULA governs between you and Apple.

8. Names and marks

Any organization or agency names that appear in the App or this document — including the CFPB, the FTC, the National Association of Consumer Advocates, and any state agency — belong to their respective owners. Carcept is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any of them.

9. Changes

We may revise these Terms over time. Material changes will be surfaced in the App on next launch, and continued use after a change means you accept it.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be heard in courts located in California, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any competent court to protect intellectual-property rights.

Deletion and retained records

Deleting a repossession event also deletes its linked personal-property records after a successful save. This does not produce a recoverable parent-and-child snapshot. There is no Recently Deleted or full-database import; PDFs and letters are readable copies. Independently saved exports, original system media and earlier backups require separate management. A record deletion does not erase those copies.

11. Contact & Support

When saved records cannot be opened

The updated App pauses the normal record interface if its persistent database cannot be opened and only a temporary in-memory store is available. New recording and editing through that interface are blocked. The App keeps the existing database and attachment files rather than treating the temporary empty store as your archive. Database-dependent startup work in that interface is paused; previously scheduled reminders, widget snapshots or independent copies may remain.

Check available device storage, close and reopen the App, and contact support before deleting or reinstalling it. This recovery screen is not a backup, a repair guarantee or an automatic restoration of missing records. Older installed versions may behave differently until updated; publishing this document does not update an installed App.
